when you run a reverse or an end around and your about to be tackled for a big loss, why don't the receivers just throw the ball out of bounds? I can never understand why they don't. It should be any different than a QB throwing it away...

1. Al Harris and Nick Collins both go for it and drop it.
2. That makes it 4th and 10.
3. Brady Poppinga somehow draws a personal foul and gives them 15 yards for the first.
4. Can't wrap up Brandon Jones on a reverse.
5. Our D-Line is getting owned.

its really risky. If someone is coming at u, u could mess up the throw and it could be easily intercepted

Beyond the risk of intentional grounding, if the offensive line is run blocking then you'd get nailed on the inelligible receiver call.
